Trump võõrustab laupäeval Türgis vabastatud USA pastorit
USA president Donald Trump teatas, et võõrustab laupäeval USA pastorit Andrew Brunsonit, kelle Türgi reedel vabastab.
Trump kirjutas Twitteris, et Brunson külastab Valget Maja laupäeva pärastlõunal, vahendas Reuters.
Brunson lendas Türgist minema pärast seda, kui kohus vabastas ta pärast kaks aastat vanglas veetmist. See samm võib aidata parandada USA ja Türgi suhteid, mis on muutunud pingeliseks vaidluste pärast Süüria ja Iraani üle.
Trump tänas Twitteris Türgi presidenti Tayyip Erdoğani Brunsoni vabastamise eest.
Trump on öelnud, et Brunsoni vabastamine ei too Türgi-vastaste sanktsioonide tühistamist.
Pastor Andrew Brunson, released by Turkey, will be with me in the Oval Office at 2:30 P.M. (this afternoon). It will be wonderful to see and meet him. He is a great Christian who has been through such a tough experience. I would like to thank President @RT_Erdogan for his help!

There was NO DEAL made with Turkey for the release and return of Pastor Andrew Brunson. I don't make deals for hostages. There was, however, great appreciation on behalf of the United States, which will lead to good, perhaps great, relations between the United States & Turkey!
